JPMorgan Chase has signed a 10-year lease to become the anchor tenant of Sun Hung Kai Properties' (SHKP) new Artist Square Towers (AST) office development in West Kowloon, Hong Kong. The US investment bank will lease approximately 250,000 sq ft of space, relocating its Kowloon office from Kowloon East to the new mixed-use development, which is slated for completion in 2027. The move, expected in the latter half of 2028, will provide JPMorgan employees with access to retail, dining, and transport links in the cultural hub. JPMorgan will maintain its office in Central, Hong Kong's main business district. SHKP views JPMorgan's commitment as a vote of confidence in Hong Kong's strength as an international financial center and the emergence of West Kowloon as a key business district.
